    Lyrics
    You're watching your favorite show
    When the TV died
    The biggest power-cut in your neighbourhood since 1989
    A blackout in the center of town
    But down in the suburbs where it first went out
    They've been asking, asking the question
    Are you afraid of the darkness?
    Are you afraid of the darkness?
    I'm afraid of the darkness too
    In the hospital
    On the critical ward
    Too long a breath between
    The break and the backup of a life support
    One system failure and it stopped her heart
    One power vacuum and we're coming apart
    We should be asking, asking the question
    Are you afraid of the darkness?
    Are you afraid of the darkness?
    I'm afraid of the darkness too
    We're all caught in the blackout
    Trying to feel our way out
    Wait for the morning
    I'll be waiting for you
    Meet me in the middle
    Meet me in the middle
    Bring a burning candle with you
    Meet me in the middle
    Meet me in the middle
    I will be there waiting for you
    I was in my comfort zone
    I was singing selfish songs
    I've been taking for granted everyone understood how easy trouble comes
    But it's not enough anymore
    We can't turn just around and close the door on the world
    It's asking uneasy questions
    We should be asking ourselves uneasy questions
    Are you afraid of the darkness?
    Are you afraid of the darkness?
    I'm afraid of the darkness too
    We're all caught in the blackout
    Trying to feel our way out
    Wait for the morning
    I'll be waiting for you
    Meet me in the middle
    Meet me in the middle
    Bring a burning candle with you
    Meet me in the middle
    Meet me in the middle
    I will be there waiting for you
    Meet me in the middle
    Meet me in the middle
    Bring a burning candle with you
    Meet me in the middle

    At my lowest, loneliest, most lost moments, I turn to Frank Turner to put some flicker of light in my life. Can't tell you ho often a few chords and some sincere lyrics have held the darkness at bay.

    It's good to see Frank pushing his sonic boundaries again with this album. Every album has a different sound, something new that still gives a nod to the old stuff (listen to that nice crunchy guitar in the "Meet Me In The Middle" bit). It took a couple of listens to get used to, but this song (and new sound) just keeps giving the more I listen to it.

    I first heard this over Easter weekend while driving around in Dallas with my wife looking at garage sales. I was surprised to hear that it was friggin' Frank Turner. The more this gets played the more it will get popular. This is the song that's going to make Frank Turner mainstream for sure. Enjoy him while you can folks.
